A child's curiosity is the foundation of critical thinking, which is a necessary skill in today's world. Students will use critical thinking not only in classrooms, throughout their whole lives. Critical thinking goes beyond memorization. It encourages students to connect different concepts, solve problems, think creatively, and apply knowledge in ways they have not thought of before. This skill helps students excel in the world, both in their personal lives and in their future careers.

They play a game, similar to Go Fish, called "Eat or Be Eaten" where they have to create their own food chains by creating card sequences of what eats what. There are more details about this lesson in my Fieldwork page that explain what happened when we actually taught it.
